The new bullet

I will show you their is some pictures of some new stuff

A few

Definitely a special thanks to Brett Miller for all of his hard work couldn't do it without you...

A set of Miller Crazy 8s. And his killer intake.... Brett we couldn't do it without you thanks for all your help

WOW! Good looking stuff there.

I think the new intake ate your old intake for lunch.

That's some beautiful hardware right there, I don't care who you are...

What kind of cam (and RPM) will you be running? Those valve springs look like they could double as coil-overs!

Shilo you would rather use an R block than the Ritter? Just curious as the Ritter looks much better to me.

. 60 mm roller. 937 lifter Hoping to make peek at 9300 . And shift at 9600
in the car..

. Ritter block is definitely a more advanced .. I just don't feel the quality of the casting has been there... I have heard they have gotten .better.. But out of the too early blocks that I had both Had issues...

Ok. I'm surprised there are many R blocks even around...unless someone as a stash of them. Getting pretty rare.

Out with the old..........in with the OH MY GOD !!!!!!! ...
Very nice !

You've struggled enuff already so I hope this piece serves ya well and supersedes your goals......

that is some beautiful engine stuff

Tex

Couple more pictures

That is , as Jules liked to say , " some serious gourmet s**t ".

Did you pick up all these parts on a Black Friday sale?

wow

. Actually I have been gathering parts and pieces for a little over 3 years For this project...

Looks like there needs to be another unit of measurement for volume:
oz = ounces
cc = cubic centimeters
sc = spray cans

that poor ole G body you keep beating up on won't know what hit him....that intake is a true work of art, I wonder How many of the Chevy guys switched to the new intake vs the old 420.
Is there room in the R3 block to use cartridge liters ?

.. Just amazes me how big it is inside guess I like to show off a little .... The crazy thing is more than one will fit

Good luck with your new motor

Very NICE Shiloh!

Hey, on another note, can I maybe use your headers in a month or so?

. Yes just let me know when..

Very nice stuff...thanks for sharing and sorry about your part failure. With respect to the old motor: What stroke was it? what size rod journals?

4in x 2.100

Wow, something evil this way comes, gonna be a even badder ride!

Speedmaster had a 40% off sale over the weekend but I don’t think they stock those parts.

....right there on the 340source page!

Nothing to see here

Strange I can't see my own attachment maybe it's not here supposed to be the block with the bushings installed

Its there! Looks fancy

Is QMP doing the block for you?

. Yes qmp will do all the machine work

Seems to be a great shop. I was going to have them do a block for me but wait time to start was something like fourteen weeks which I guess is a recommendation in itself. While all my discussions were via email they were very responsive and prices were reasonable.

Thanks for sharing the build of the "new bullet".

Te me about the milling between the intake lifter bores. I'm assuming they may have been moved over but why mill the outside?
Doug

My guess on the valley machining is that the block is cast for both 59°& 48° lifter locations. Looks like lightening is the only purpose.

.. . A few extra steps have been taken to remove weight out of the block that is what we are looking at here...

... Yes you are correct . The lifters are stood up even a little straighter in this block we are at 47ﾟ...

.937" Holes?

Beautiful thing isn't .......................I have aquestion, could you use cartridge lifters in this block?

have you ever considered a p-5?

Do you mean R5/P7 as in old NASCAR engines?

No, Pro Stock truck head.

Question,thought 48" cams were a little tough to get, now at 47" degrees. Just curious. Thanks, awesome effort keep us updated.

I know there are some MoPar 48 degree UGL blanks still out there..........60 m.m. cores.
But if you want to pay for it , you can get anything you want.

Seems to me a 47-degree could use a 48-degree core. Cam grinder may whine a bit but I'm sure it's all sorted out ahead of time.

Marsh has them.........
Race Roller UGL Camshafts
48° tappet “R” blocks (R1, R2, R3, R4) and 48° tappet aluminum blocks require special camshafts. These UGL (unground lobe) camshafts enable cam grinders to grind specific cam profiles to create a finished cam. Cannot be used in engine as-is.
P5007437 Race UGL Camshaft — Roller Tappets, for 60 mm Roller Bearings P5007361 (“R” Blocks) 281.00

brett has 30 cores that could go as big as a 565 lobe in 47 or 48*.pick your poison

A little different style of lash cap

Bullit has 50mm cam cores they cut a 2.00 core down to the 50mm that is like 1.966 something like that size they just cut one down for me last summer

48 or 59 ??

Duh, I should have known that!

48 degrees

😎 one more piece

Who dat from?

Why #2 and #4 journals grooved?

Would a been used for oiling.. But beings how we have roller bearings they will do nothing but be along for the ride.. Got to use my friends laser tool.. Man did it make for an easy set up when mapi now the camshaft

HAY !!!! That Junk is off a 1/2 a degree !!!! Hahahahahahaha
Keep after it... Looking good !!!!!! Mopar on Broth'a

How about a little Rocker porn

Is the ex steel and the intake aluminum?
Looks like overkill if the intake is steel, considering the exhaust takes a greater load. Beautiful stuff though.

Intakes are offset on these studs.
Man...........this is gonna be good !!!

Those are NOT your pretty hands Shiloh!!

why not steel intakes?

Weight would be my best guess.

Steel is the way to go if your running a bunch of spring pressure and RPM, over 7500 RPM

... The exhaust rocker works a little harder then the intake... Didn't see a performance advantage for the dollar spent with this combination... We are running very low Spring pressures on this motor.... Spring pressures that would make most people cringe

Light valve + light retainter/lock + light spring = lower spring pressure. For instance look at the springs specced for modern stuff with, say a .750 lift cam compared to the drag racing section. Take 50g off the intake valve using Ti valves and 100g using an ovate spring and spring pressure requirements drop. At least that is what I am hearing from vendors for the N/A applications. FWIW the cam grinders are insisting we keep the big spring pressure (250/770) with the n20.

Does this engine have Ti valves on bith jntake and exhaust?

Is that cam a 60mm? Are you using babbit or roller cam bearings?
Looks great !!

With spintron testing, its crazy what they are getting away with on spring pressure this year. I have a big block that see's 8-9000rpm all day. Has T&D steel rockers and never have had an issue with them.... see the large offset BBC rockers break all the time.. FWIW I run 525#'s closed and 1485 # open

Out of curiosity what is the OD and installed height of that spring?

60 roller

1.350ish set up for about 1in off lift. And under 200lb on the seat

I have seen guys use a spring with say a 2.00" installed height at 2.050-2.100 to drop the seat pressure and gain IH for more lift. I have looked through a ton of spring catalogs and never saw a spring with less than a 1.400 OD over .850 lift. I'd be interested to know if the spring is ovate wire? Sorry for the barrage of technical questions this is a topic that has been on my radar in a big way.

. At this point in time I Can't give up much information on the Spring...
